Solidarity with the fight for democracy in Israel

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:16:01 GMT

We, the undersigned citizens of the world, from movements representing tens of millions around the globe and in Israel, condemn the aggressive, anti-democratic legislation proposed by the Israeli government. We stand in solidarity with the citizens of Israel who have been fighting for democracy and taking to the streets in hundreds of thousands for the past 12 weeks.The legislation promoted by the Israeli government, now in its final and crucial stage, will de facto abolish the independence of the judicial system and provide unlimited power to the executive branch. Destroying the checks and balances of Israeli democracy will endanger the rights of so many – first, the political and individual rights of the Palestinian minority in Israel, including disenfranchisement, but also the rights of women, LGBTQI+ people, secular communities, civil society, asylum seekers and immigrant workers. Destroying the checks and balances of Israeli democracy will endanger the rights of so many.M...

Boycott a Russia-led UN Security Council

Colombe Cahen-Salvador is the co-founder of the global grassroots movement Atlas, and previously co-founded the pan-European party Volt.Can a war criminal head the United Nations Security Council?On March 17, 2023, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin for the “unlawful deportation” of Ukrainian children — a war crime allegation. And yet, on April 1, Putin’s Russia is set to take up the presidency of the most powerful international body.Although this sounds like a cruel joke on April Fool’s Day, it is not. And for 30 days — the duration of the rotating U.N. Security Council presidency — the world will be collectively shamed as it allows Putin’s imperialistic Russia to take this leadership role. Unless, that is, we do something to stop it, to signal that this cannot be business as usual.We are taught to look at history in a very binary manner — some resisted and some collaborated; or some did good and some did bad. But the ...

UK Labour says never mind the Indo-Pacific — let’s build Europe ties

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:16:01 GMT

LONDON — The U.K.’s Labour Party wants to do “much more in partnership with the EU” if it wins the next election — but it’s not so bothered about the government’s big “Indo-Pacific tilt.”In a document setting out the opposition party’s foreign policy focus in detail for the first time, Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy said: “I believe there is much more that we can do with Europe — in partnership with the EU and bilaterally.”But he suggested he would move away from the current Conservative government’s much-vaunted “Indo-Pacific tilt,” which focuses on building closer ties with countries in that region.The Indo-Pacific is mentioned just four times in the new pamphlet issued by the Fabian Society, a left-wing think tank. It says the government’s “tilt” is “more rhetoric than substance” and argues it “cannot come at the cost of our security commitments in Europe or mean that we can safely ignore our own neighbourhood.”The comments come after similar n...

Immanuel Quickley scores career high 40 points in blowout victory over lowly Rockets

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:16:01 GMT

Three days rest and the lowly Houston Rockets did the trick.The Knicks got off the schneid by pummeling the Rockets with points in Monday’s 137-115 runaway victory, snapping their three-game losing streak behind Immanuel Quickley’s career evening.Quickley, playing in the place of the injured Jalen Brunson, finished with a personal-best 40 points, carrying the Knicks through a third-quarter run that forged the cakewalk.The Knicks stepped on the gas in the final period, and the Rockets — young, disorganized and generally awful — offered little resistance.The victory was important for two reasons: it reestablished positive vibes by killing the losing streak; and it gave the Knicks a 2 ½ game lead for fifth in the East ahead of the Nets and Heat.Miami is the next opponent at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, and there were concerns the Knicks might fall victim to a trap game against the sadsack Rockets (18-58).Instead, the home team (43-33) took care of bu...
